Tropicana Field is the only domed stadium in the MLB without a retractable roof, which is held stable by the famed, and often criticized, four catwalks that sit above the field. Tropicana Field is one of four stadiums in the MLB that still has its bullpens located on the field, but in foul territory, often causing much trouble for the fielders, as balls hit in foul territory but in the bullpen are still in play.

Rays of Hope: A Brief History of the Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays have recovered from an initial decade of futility to become a well-respected franchise noted for their commitment to salary cap management, player development and advanced analytics. The Rays have embraced the challenges faced by small market clubs and made it to the postseason in four of the past seven seasons. While they have yet to reach their ultimate goal of a World Series title, the Rays have provided an interesting model for other small market franchises to follow.

Tampa Bay had pursued acquiring an MLB franchise for the area for over three decades. Countless flirtations were never consummated and the area remained a bridesmaid that was used as a pawn for existing clubs to strike better deals to remain in their home cities. On March 9, 1995 an ownership group led by Vince Naimoli was approved and Tampa Bay was granted an expansion franchise to begin play in the 1998 season. The team was introduced as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and would call Tropicana Field home, where they continue to play their home games.

An expansion draft was organized to allocate players to the Rays and the other expansion franchise of 1998, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Key picks for the Rays would include P Tony Saunders and OFs Quinton McCracken and Bubba Trammell. Additional transactions saw the Rays acquire the rights to 3B Wade Boggs and 1B Fred McGriff. The club was poised to field an interesting mix of veterans and up and coming youngsters.

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays took the field to open the 1998 season and the fans turned out in droves as they surpassed 2.5 million fans for their maiden campaign. Overwhelming support would not correlate to on-field success, and the Rays struggled to a finish of 63-99 and finish last in their division. The cellar would become all too familiar to the Rays and their fans as the club finished 5th in their division for nine of their first ten seasons. The lone exception for this period was the 2004 season, when they finished 70-91 – good for fourth place.

Things had to change, and a new ownership group led by Wall Street investor Stuart Sternberg purchased control of the team in 2004. Sternberg and his team of financial industry veterans employed similar strategies through which they had garnered success on Wall Street. By quantifying and analyzing information, the team was able to boil down the recipe for success into a few key components that would serve as the guiding principles for the Rays moving forward. Information was king and they were able to develop a model which became the key to developing a value based mindset.

Front office changes led to a full culture change and the Rays took it a step further entering the 2008 season. Going forward, the Rays would drop the Devil from their name and become simply known as the Tampa Bay Rays. Third year manager Joe Maddon had slowly improved the foundation in prior seasons and optimism was high that the Rays may be finally turning the corner. An expected season of improvement turned into one of the most shocking turnarounds in Major League Baseball history.

Behind the bat of 3B Evan Longoria and the pitching prowess of P James Shields, the Rays stormed to a record of 97-65 and first place in the AL East. From laughingstock to the playoffs, the Rays had arrived and attendance spiked to close to 1.8 million fans for the 2008 season. Their strong play continued into the postseason as they defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-1 in the opening round before taking a thrilling seven game series from the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS. The Cinderella season came to a close in the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies with the Rays falling in five games.

The Rays had quickly transformed into contenders and intended to stay there. An organizational philosophy of developing young talent and shipping them out for additional assets created a constant cycle of interchangeable parts for Manager Joe Maddon to work with. Maddon managed it beautifully, taking home Manager of the Year honors in both 2008 and 2011. The Rays were competitive in 2009 but took a slight step backward and missed the postseason before returning in the following two seasons. 2010 would see the Rays fall to the Texas Rangers in the opening round 3-2, while in 2011 they would fall to the same Rangers – this time 3-1.

Another postseason miss in 2012 was followed by the usual organization reshuffling of talent. P James Shields was shipped out for prospects but the team signed franchise stalwart Longoria to a six-year, $100 million contract extension. Another magical ride through 2012 saw the Rays finish with a record of 92-71, good for 2nd in the division but tied with the Cleveland Indians for the Wild Card spot. A one-game tie-breaker was held in Cleveland on October 2, 2013. Rays P Alex Cobb pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings and OF Delmon Young belted a third inning HR as the Rays went on to win 4-0. The Rays would go on to play the Boston Red Sox in the opening round, losing 3 games to 1.

2014 saw the Rays finish the season under .500 for the first time since 2007. Joe Maddon would exit in October to accept an offer with the Chicago Cubs. New Manager Kevin Cash inherits a squad that is an interesting mix. Veterans Longoria and OF Desmond Jennings will lead a team which includes the up and coming SS Tim Beckham and OFs Kevin Kiermaier and Steven Souza. An intriguing pitching staff led by Cobb promises to keep the Rays competitive this year as they battle to get back to the postseason. As always, the Rays Republic will cheer on their beloved Rays from the friendly confines of Tropicana Field. Continuing their commitment to developing youngsters and sticking to their plan should insure the Trop is rocking for years to come.
